It's a fine balancing act some days, that's for sure!
My sewing is mostly confined to the evenings after dinner. If hubby is feeling neglected I'll sit in the lounge and watch a movie with him, but bring my hand sewing to do.
As for the housework, I make the kids help out too. They're old enough to vacuum, and unload the dishwasher etc. We all do the housework at the same time, then it gets done much faster. Maybe not to my mother's standard, but good enough for us! We have four kids, four dogs, two cats, and numerous birds, so a showhome finish was never going to happen! lol
